  2. Updated security info locked my pc

    I just updated my security info for my new phone and now my pc has locked saying I need to wait 30 days for the security to update. I have no other accounts on this pc and so now it's fully locked to me. Is there anyway to make a non admin account or similar to allow me to use my pc while I wait out the 30 days

  3. Didn't know updating security info would take 30 days...

    Why is my Microsoft account security info change still pending?

    Applies to: Microsoft Account

    When you remove all your old security info and replace it with something new, your Microsoft account is restricted for 30 days. During that time, we'll send notifications to the phone number or email address that's being removed, in case an attacker is attempting
    to remove your information. We can't expedite this process.

    If you didn't make the security changes, or you changed your mind:

    Go to Protect your account and sign in.

    At the security info change is still pending, select If you didn't request this, let us know.

    Or, you changed your mind and want to keep your existing security info, select Cancel this request.

    What you can do while changes are pending

    If you made the security info changes:

    After 30 days, the security information you chose to remove will be deleted.

    During this 30-day period, you can still access most Microsoft services, but you won't be able to do things that require a security code, like changing your password, email addresses or manage parental controls online.

    You can view, change, or add billing information, and make purchases.

    If you have two-step verification enabled:

    You won't be able to sign in to your account unless you have the Microsoft

    Authenticator app and had previously set it up on this account, or you have access to your old security information. This includes not being able to sign in to other Microsoft services such as Outlook.com or OneDrive.

  4. Security info locked me out for 30 days

    Skiping the 30 Day Period to Switch security info

    Recently after getting hacked I was able to login to my Microsoft account again by means of using the pin on my laptop. After getting back in a saw that the email and password were both changed. I then attempted to change the main login method to my phone number. It then locked me out from changing the password for 30 days as it waited to change my info. I'm wondering if I can get this changed sooner to prevent the person in primary control of my account locking me out.
